The Functions of Compost Turners
Compost turners are used in the fermentation process of animal manure, household refuse, sludge, crop stalks, etc. It can also be used in the process of fermenting fodder. They could be divided into two series: vertical tower-type equipment and groove-type equipment. The groove-type fermentation equipment adopts trough structure. One groove-type compost turner can cooperate with several fermentation grooves. groove-type fermentation equipment has characters of easy operation, short incubation period, complete fermentation and less pollution. This equipment can take place of manual operation to a considerable extent. By using this equipment, labor force is reduced and work efficiency gets improved.
Firstly, compost turner is powerful to mix materials during blending process, so the raw materials can be merged together evenly.
Secondly, compost turners can adjust temperature of the fermentation pile. In addition, through the mixing process, the raw materials can absorb more fresh air.
Thirdly, compost turner can change permeability of raw materials. Then, the processed materials can be more adhesive and nutritive.
